In this paper, two new types of dual-band antennas are presented: a plane wave (CPW)-fed fractional monopole and an asymmetric planar strip (ACS)-fed fractional monopole. These antennas are designed to operate in two distinct bands suitable for WiMAX 3.5/5.5 GHz and WLAN 5.2/5.8 GHz applications. Both antennas have self-similarity by using semicircular and quarter-circular folded rings, respectively, which represent the radiation elements of the antennas. Two simulation programs are used to extract the simulation results of the reflection coefficient, gain, efficiency, and radiation patterns. Prototypes of the two designs are fabricated. The simulation results of the reflection coefficient agree well with the experimental results, demonstrating that the two antennas perform well in the above applications. Moreover, the achieved peak gain values ​​are greater than 2 dBi, the efficiency exceeds 90%, and the radiation is quasi-omnidirectional in both bands.
